When Morning Gilds The Skies
When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Alike at work and prayer to Jesus I repair,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day, when from the heart we say,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Be this th’eternal song through all the ages long,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
For The Beauty Of The Earth
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies,
Refrain:
Lord of all, to thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound and sight,
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
God Of Grace And God Of Glory
God of grace and God of glory,
On your people pour your power;
Crown your ancient Church’s story,
Bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
For the facing of this hour,
For the facing of this hour.
Heal your children's warring madness;
Bend our pride to your control;
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
Rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
Lest we miss your kingdom's goal,
Lest we miss your kingdom's goal.
Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the gift of your salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
Serving you whom we adore,
Serving you whom we adore.

Hymn: “Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart”
Sue Sparks
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
And make me love thee as I ought to love.
Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King,
All, all thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind?
I see thy cross—there teach my heart to cling:
O let me seek thee, and O let me find.
Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The baptism of the heaven descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Message from Ernie and Lynda:
Dear friends: By the time you’re reading this, we will have arrived at our apartment in Viterbo, Italy, about an hour north of Rome.The flight over was easy. Small crowds and only 40 passengers on the plane. Jordan picked us up and drove us here to the apartment. We return November 3rd. Here are a couple of photos we thought you might enjoy. Feel free to call anytime. You can call Lynda’s cell no charge direct. 613-371-3344.
Blessings on all.
